News Corp. Cancels O.J. Simpson Book and TV Special
Monday, November 20, 2006

O.J. Simpson gives an interview to HarperCollins publisher Judith Regan, not seen, for his canceled TV special 'If I Did It.'

NEW YORK News Corp., the parent company of book publisher HarperCollins and the FOX network, has canceled publication of the O.J. Simpson book and television special "If I Did It."

"I and senior management agree with the American public that this was an ill-considered project," News Corp. Chairman Rupert Murdoch said. "We are sorry for any pain that this has caused the families of Ron Goldman and Nicole Brown Simpson."

In the book, the one-time football superstar tells how he would have killed his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ron Goldman if, in fact, he had done it.

Simpson told The Associated Press in a phone interview late Monday he could not comment on the situation "until I know legally where I stand."

He added, "I would like nothing better than to straighten out some things that have been mischaracterized. But I think I'm legally muzzled at this point."

Before the decision was announced, a dozen FOX affiliates had already said they would not air the two-part sweeps month special, which was scheduled to air next week ahead of the book's publication.

One station manager who had said he wouldn't air the special said he was concerned that whether or not Simpson was guilty, he would still be profiting from murders.

"I have my own moral compass and this was easy," said Bill Lamb, general manager of WDRB in Louisville.

Relatives of the victims have lashed out at the now scuttled publication and broadcast plans.

"He destroyed my son and took from my family Ron's future and life. And for that I'll hate him always and find him despicable," Fred Goldman told ABC last week.

The industry trade publication Broadcasting & Cable editorialized against the show Monday, saying "FOX should cancel this evil sweeps stunt."

One of the nation's largest superstore chains, Borders Group Inc., said last week it would donate any profits on the book to charity.

Also last week, Judith Regan, would-be publisher of Simpson's book, said she did not pay Simpson for the rights to publish his book.

"What I do know is I didn't pay him," Regan said in an eight-page statement titled "Why I Did It." "I contracted through a third party who owns the rights, and I was told the money would go to his children. That much I could live with."

We had cable, needed it here. No VCR or microwave until late teens and we bought them for our parents. Dishwasher was me. No HBO or Showtime in our house. Or Atari or Nintendo. Heck, we didn't have air conditioning! Had to go to my sister's house for all of these things.

OY! We only had a window unit in the front of the house for so long.

I remember when it broke we spent the days at a friend's house with a pool to cool off during the heat wave. Central air in my teens was a blessing!

Not sure if this is true or not but Conan is saying that Fox has cancelled the OJ interview broadcast because it is not up their standard of journalism. I really hope that this is correct!

They have even cancelled the publishing of the book!!!! I heard Barbara Walters say that she was offered the interview before & turned it down quickly.

I heard it too! :Pinkbounc

Dina just came downstairs. She is such a daddy's girl. She practically has to go right past me to get to him, so she came down real quiet, then zipped by! :lmao:

As long as he takes care of her... :rolleyes:

Oh my dad had a remote control. It was called KIDS!

When DH and I were first married we inherited an old TV from his parents. It was one of those dial TVs and the knob was broken off so we had to use a pair of needle nose pliers to change the channels. :happytv:
